Endovascular treatment had developed rapidly and the procedures have increased in complexity. The demand of imaging excellence is imperative to perform these interventions. However both pre and postoperative investigations are performed by the use of advanced three-dimensional imaging, while the treatment itself relies on two-dimensional imaging. With the use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT
The phenyldi(2-thienyl)phosphine (PhPTh2) complexes [Os-3(CO)(12-n)(PhPTh2)(n)] (n = 1-3) (1-3) have been prepared. Thermolysis of 1 and either 2 or 3 in octane affords carbon-hydrogen bond activation products [Os-3(CO)(9){mu(3)-PPhTh(C4H2S)}(mu-H)] (4) and [Os-3(CO)(8)(PPhTh2){mu(3)-PPhTh(C4H2S)}(mu-H)] (5), respectively. Both exist as isomeric mixtures differing in the relative positions of phen
Purpose Little is known about the interaction between job control and social support at work on common mental disorders. To examine whether there is a synergistic interaction effect between job control and social support at work on general psychological distress and whether it differs by the level of job demands. Methods About 1,940 male and female workers from the Malmo Shoulder and Neck Study we
A recently developed protocol for pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) NMR is applied for the size determination of multilamellar vesicles (MLVs). By monitoring the self-diffusion behavior of water, the technique yields an estimate of the homogeneous length scale λ(hom), i.e. the maximum length scale at which there is local structural heterogeneity in a globally homogeneous material. A cross-over betw
In business controllers’ work on budgeting, considered as a classic decision-making process in organisations, it is consistently indicated that enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, business intelligence (BI) and spreadsheets are commonly applied to assist the process. An academic research contribution on this topic is few. Most available research concentrates on ERP systems but it mentions
Context and Objective: Intraportal islet transplantation can restore insulin production in type 1 diabetes patients, but its effect is subject to several interfering processes. To assess the influence of beta-cell loss before and during engraftment, we searched for a real-time marker of beta-cell destruction. Previous studies showed that 65-kDa isoform of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65) is dischar
Background: Psychosocial stress has been identified as a risk factor in association with cardiovascular disease but less attention has been paid to heterogeneity in vulnerability to stress. The serial Color Word Test (CWT) measures adaptation to a stressful situation and it can be used to identify individuals that are vulnerable to stress. Prospective studies have shown that individuals with a mal
Desertification, climate variability and food security are closely linked through drought, land cover changes, and climate and biological feedbacks. In Ghana, only few studies have documented these linkages. To establish this link the study provides historical and predicted climatic changes for two drought sensitive agro-ecological zones in Ghana and further determines how these changes have influ
There is a growing need to understand how existing concepts and tools for sustainability relate to each other and to a robust, trans-disciplinary systems perspective for sustainability. As a response, a group of scientists, including some of the authors, have developed a framework based on backcasting from sustainability principles over the last 20 years the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Dev
The S 2p core level photoelectron spectra of Sulphurhexafluoride Clusters have been investigated together with heterogeneous Ar/SF6 clusters, created by doping Ar host clusters (with a mean size of 3600 atoms) with the molecule. Surface and bulk features are resolved both in the argon 2p and the sulphur 2p core level photoelectron spectra. For the latter level such features were only observed in t
One major challenge to the improvement of regional climate scenarios for the northern high latitudes is to understand land surface feedbacks associated with vegetation shifts and ecosystem biogeochemical cycling. We employed a customized, Arctic version of the individual-based dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS to simulate the dynamics of upland and wetland ecosystems under a regional climate mode
Background: Genetic factors seem to be of greater importance in prostate cancer than in other forms of cancer. Studies have suggested familial concordance in survival, but the extent to which that is due to tumor characteristics is not known. Objective: We hypothesized that a brother of an index case with prostate cancer is at particularly increased risk of prostate cancer with the same tumor diff
There is a propensity in many languages for elements that represent backgrounded and/or given information to show up in the middle field, a tendency that I term SHIFT. In this paper I argue that Object Shift and the raising of certain adverbials to the middle field in Swedish is due to this general propensity. SHIFT applies across the board, but language-specific principles, such as Constituent Or
High transverse momentum jets produced in pp collisions at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV are used to measure the transverse energy-energy correlation function and its associated azimuthal asymmetry. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in the year 2011 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 158 pb(-1). The selection criteria demand the average transverse momentum of
